Been hearing a lot of hype about this spot, so of course I had to come check it out. They're known for making their lap xuong (Vietnamese style) in-house, which is pretty rare these days. That's pretty much all they sell here, but when you specialize in one thing, you better do it well... and they definitely do. I picked up a pack of the pork and chicken lap xuong and it was delicious. You can really taste that they're made fresh. I can honestly say this is probably going to be my new go-to spot whenever I need lap xuong. Whether you're throwing it in fried rice, eating it with sticky rice, or just pan-frying it on its own, it's hard to go wrong with these. If you're not local, they also ship, so you don't have to make the drive. Definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of lap xuong. read more

Quang Tran - Got the goods - Meat Shops Near Me - Rosemead, California

I can not believe that I've never yelped QUANG TRAN. This is my go-to for Vietnamese sausage. You may say Chinese/Vietnamese sausage is all the same ... but it's not. I can guarantee that you'll feel the same after you try Quang Tran's pork sausages. Quang Tran is a multi generational establishment. The young man who's the the main person at the store front is the grandson of the original sausage maker. His name is Ngon, I hope I spelled it correctly and he was more than helpful today. He was able to sell me 5 bags of pork sausage when another customer tried to buy everything out. Coming all the way from New York, I was MORE than appreciative of his kindness. Will I return?!? Absolutely .. I do everytime I come out to California. Now that Quang Tran ships, I think I'll get my Vietnamese sausage fix thru the mail ... definitely cheaper than a plane ticket. Wishing Quang Tran continued success!!! read more

This is the I mean the Chinese sausage please they have a couple varieties and that is all they do all they do is sell sausage they make it fresh every couple days so don't buy a whole bunch unless you're going to eat it right away or you're going to give it away their hours are short though they close pretty early in the afternoon and be aware of their hours because they do close certain times like New Years or other special days read more

Parking: The store is located in a plaza with a pretty decent sized parking lot. If you're unable to find parking, there is always plenty of street parking. Lap Cheong/Sausage Flavors: 1) Pork 2) Chicken and Pork 3) Pork and Liver Pork and chicken: If you've never had this it's a juicy sweet and salty sausage with slight notes of rice wine and garlic flavors. When you cook it, it will be nice and crispy up on the outside, but will remain nice and juicy on the inside. Best for fried rice, with eggs, with your sandwich, or whatever you want to use it for. It's very quick and easy to cook. Hours: They open from 9am to 4pm every day except for Wednesday. On Wednesday they open from 9am to 12pm. Overall: I stopped in on the weekend because I couldn't find any lap cheong/sausages for my grandma at my local asian market. Instead of going to another market I decided to go straight to the source. The purchase was quick and easy and the owner was friendly. He even gave us our lap cheong/sausages in a cute Lunar New Year's bag to go. If you have a chance to try I would highly recommend it. PSA - This place is CASH ONLY! They also have online ordering (quangtran.com) if you are interested. If you have any questions or have a large order I would recommend calling ahead. Fun fact: This is a family-owned business, which started in 1950. The business has now been passed down for 3 generations. Side note - Their lap cheong/sausages do contain red dye 40 for anyone sensitive to that ingredient. read more

Very bad service! They treated you like baggers. Don't want your business . People like it because the sausage is good taste but I don't give a damage because of the attitude read more

A long overdue review. My family has gotten Chinese sausages from here for quite some time now. It's so good that I have relatives from Australia who ask for it as a souvenir. I introduced it to my SD friends once and lo and behold, I was asked to buy some for them when I went to visit home. My most recent visit was a pleasant surprise because it came with a fancy lunar new years bag! Perfect gift for family and friends for the new year :) Thanks Nhan and fam! read more

Hands down, the best Chinese sausage that you can ever find. We live in Houston Texas and have been purchasing for them for as long as I've known. You can't beat the quality and taste! read more

Quang Tran - Love it! - Meat Shops Near Me - Rosemead, California

So grateful this family business is on their third generation! Been open for nearly 27 years and I hope they stay open for many more years to come. The quality of their lạp xưởng hasn't change since my family started coming here in 2015. Our favorite is the pork and chicken version. Store is extremely clean and service is very quick. They started shipping nationwide recently, and I will definitely take advantage of this because I always run out earlier than expected. read more

I live in OC , if I go to LA I always stop by to get some bag sausage here . Just great product if you're looking for legit Chinese sausage that's made with the best ingredients. If you're currently buying Chinese sausage from an Asian supermarket, I highly recommend you stop by and grab a bag of sausage from Quang Tran. They have 3 varieties: pork, pork with chicken and pork with liver. The sausages are sweet and can be used in a variety of dishes. You can eat it steamed, chopped and fried with rice, toasted in the oven, etc. I prefer to fry it until they're darken and crispy. Keep in mind the store hours & they do close up shop once they're sold out for the day! This place take cash only. read more

The best tasting Chinese sausages in California ! Service : they are more like a sausage factory, just in and out . Nothing fancy

I've been gotten sausages from this place for ages. Service has always been good and their products are of great quality. I used to have to travel long distance to get the sausages. I'm glad they now ship nationwide. read more

If you like Chinese sausages, you should try the ones from Quang Tran. I can seriously taste the quality in their Chinese sausages! They only offer three types: Pork, Pork and Chicken, and Pork and Liver. They were all good, but I would skip the Pork and Chicken because it's slightly too lean for me. Here's the difference between the Chinese sausages from Quang Tran and all the other ones I've had from the supermarket: 1. Not too oily 2. Not too sweet 3. Not too salty They are pricey ($10 - $10.50 per bag), but their pricing is comparable to the "better brands" at the supermarket. This place is definitely worth a try! Cash only! read more

Only place we buy our lap cheong (Chinese sausage) and we live in the SF Bay Area. All made in house. Great and friendly service. Cash only. Reasonable priced and plenty of parking. I highly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed read more

COVID-19 update: Quang Tran is still making the best lap cheong! Their prices have gone up slightly but it is worth every penny for the most delicious Chinese sausages! The owner is very nice and full of personality. She is all business, hard working, takes care of customers quickly, and often has something funny to say. In all the years I've been buying sausages here, she is always at the front. I'm spoiled by these sausages because they're flavorful and you can tell they're high quality. It's hard to pick a favorite because they're all good for different reasons. Pork chicken (5/5) is good for when I'm trying to be a little "healthier." Pork liver (5/5) has a mineral quality that I love and it's perfect with a bowl of hot rice. Pork (5/5) is the OG. If I had to pick, the pork may be my favorite because I can have it all the time. It's great for a quick meal, in sticky rice, and steamed. My favorite way (and least healthy) to eat these sausages is to cook them in my rice pot on top of the rice. When the rice is cooking, the sausages are steaming and the juices from the sausage flavor the rice. Slice the sausages thin and serve it with the rice, and top with green onion or cilantro...amazingly simple and delicious. These are also great gifts for people. I often buy a dozen sausages to take home to family in Hawaii. They are huge fans! Parking is convenient and ample. There are lots of stores in this mini mall but I usually have no issues finding parking. Easy in and out! I'm a huge fan of Quang Tran! I'll definitely be back!

CASH ONLY. For those who don't know already, Quan Tran sells quality Chinese sausage. Can only be found in certain supermarkets, and if found, more expensive than coming directly for the source. This is our must stop on the way back from SoCal. Great as souvenirs for family and friends. $10 a bag for pork (this is supposedly made with rose wine or extract or something) $10 a bag for pork and chicken. $10.50 for pork and liver You can refrigerate for over a month and freeze till time ends. read more

*Parking: the store is located inside a little plaza, so plenty of free parking. *Experience: My parents live nearby and we grew up with these sausages as a staple of our childhood. After we moved to SF, we realized how lucky we were to have access to fresh & high quality sausages whenever we wanted! Therefore, when we were back in town, we definitely made a pit stop to grab a couple to stock up. We were greeted with friendly staff and great service! There were 3 different types of sausages to choose from and we our favorite is the original pork ones. Cash only! *Food: The sausages are made fresh so it's much better than the ones you get at the Asian markets. It's also made in-house, so you can trust that the highest ingredients are used. The quality is always consistent where the sausage is fat and juicy. This is perfect when paired with some fluffy white jasmine rice! read more

Seriously the BEST sausages around. The other brands at the grocery store can't even dream of comparing to the ones at Quang Trang. It's not even close. The shop front and interior is very bare bones, but that's how you know the product speaks for itself. There's no frills, their sausages outshine any other brand. It's pricier, but life is too short to not even give Quang Tran a taste. But beware... IT IS SO SO GOOD that I know for a fact you won't be able to stomach any others after trying a taste of heaven. I'm spoiled by living near here so I can come get these any time. They do sell out, so come early!! The sausages are juicy and succulent, flavorful and perfectly seasoned. They crisp up well in a frying pan and pair amazing with a bed of warm rice. Slice them up for a standout sticky rice that will make this the mainstay of any potluck. If you want to impress and want family and friends to croon about how wonderful you are, gift them these sausages. Or keep them all for yourself, because they're THAT good! The quality and taste is undeniable, these are LEAGUES ahead of any competitor. Don't just trust my word, treat yourself and your family to these decadent sausages! You'll be the favorite child at last ;) read more

I highly recommend this place ! Good and delicious food ! Good service ! Clean spot !

Good if you like your sausages on the blander side. It's soft, juicy, balance of sweet and salty in the sense that the salt and sweet cancelled out and no gaminess. There also isn't a snap that I would expect out of a sausage. It's more fresh and not as dried compared to what we see in super markets. I did a taste comparison with my preferred brand and this was close tie but my preferred brand had characteristics of a Chinese sausage that I enjoyed more. Given the price point, I wouldn't come here again since it doesn't fit my taste preferences but I would say worth a try if you like juicy and mild tasting sausage. read more

Every time my family visits LA, we have to stop by this place to get their sausages to bring back home. They're the best "lap cheong" ever. I have an aunt who lives in Garden Grove who came up to buy some and they were completely sold out. I hear they sell out quite often so if you don't live nearby, definitely give them a call and see if they have what you want or else you'll be disappointed. When my family went, they still had a lot to choose from. We bought a bunch for family and friends. read more

I remember coming here as a kid to get their famous lap cheong. It has been about 20 years since I last had their lap cheong. I came here a couple weeks ago and got one of each of their lap cheong to take back home to the Bay Area. I took it with me on the plane without any problem. My family was excited that I brought the lap cheong home and cooked the pork and liver one the next day. It was so delicious! The young man behind the counter was really nice and kind. When I visit the area again, I'll be sure to stop by here. This place only takes cash so have that handy. read more

The best Chinese sausages!! This family-owned business is one of my favorite spots in the city and is truly a 626 gem. The sausages are made in-house and you can just tell the quality is top notch! Honestly, no other product can compare (these sausages are way better than the ones you find in the supermarkets). As for recommendations, I personally go for the chicken and pork sausage because it's less fatty than the pork sausage. And my boyfriend likes toasting up the liver sausage and enjoying it with beer! 10/10 would recommend! :) Also, it's cash only and I would say definitely call in advance before visiting the store as sometimes they sell out early (especially during Lunar New Year time). read more

This is by far the best Chinese Sausage I have eaten since I was introduced to the tasty treat over 50 years ago. The balance of spices gives the sausage a not too sweet and salty flavor. The texture and flavor is spot on. Both the pork and pork/chicken sausages are top notch! Living in Louisville, KY, we have to depend on what is available in the Oriental markets, which is not worth eating. Do you ship? read more

Did these guys close??? Sure hope not. Without a doubt the best lap cheong available. Hope someone can give update. read more

This for taste alone would be 5 stars but it is kind of expensive but totally worth it. I usually get the pork only one. It is so good it reminds me of lap chuan I found at the California club in Vegas on the second floor. Well Now it's the manufacturer most likely. I asked them if it came from hawaii they told me it wa s made in California. They have chicken and pork but I like pork only. They have live and pork but I haven't tried this as I don't think I would like it. Parking is way and hard at the same time . read more

Beware the terribly rude, stingy service. As I walked in, the store owner was playing games on his phone while his son was sleeping. Both were aware that I, a customer, had entered the store but both did not bother to greet me... I had to grab their attention myself. After making a large purchase, the son carelessly handled the sausages, causing the bag to rip. As anyone else would, I asked for another bag to cover the hole, but the father (STORE OWNER) COMPLAINED and BLAMED ME for not bringing my own bag instead. Ridiculous. I suggest saving your money and skip the trip here. They clearly do NOT appreciate PAYING customers. I am positive you can easily find better quality sausages elsewhere. read more

Quang Tran - Meat Shops Near Me - Rosemead, California

You honestly don't go to this type of place to get good service. Just get the sausages you need and leave. I highly recommend that everyone buys their lap cheongs here instead of in a supermarket. The texture and flavor is way better than the different brands I've bought in 99 Ranch. I've tried the pork and chicken, and the pork ones. The pork and chicken definitely had a softer texture than the pork one. I love buying multiple packs. I'm a college student and it is a quick and easy meal. When I cook rice, I just toss 2 sausages on the top. 30 minutes later, I have fluffy rice and a perfectly steamed lap cheong. Do note that IT IS CASH ONLY. I really wish they accepted card or venmo - I'd purchase a lot more sausages. That being said, I do admit the service comes off as rude, but unless they're a sit down restaurant, I don't mind. The sausages are amazing, I'll be back. read more

For those that like to eat Chinese Sausage, this is a must try and must have. It's pretty expensive but the quality is there. I've used these to make sausage and spare rib clay pot rice and it's very aromatic. They don't use much fillers, but have just enough pork fat that every bite is not dry or mushy. My only gripe is this place is cash only..We bought about 10 packages and had to find an ATM.. read more

Quang Tran - Meat Shops Near Me - Rosemead, California

Update: Mr. Tran is the consummate business man. I initially was very disappointed because we made a long trek to pick up an order I made to pickup lup chong to bring back to Hawaii the next day. We left disappointed, because they were closed, and went home sad, without our precious treasures we intended to share with friends and family in Hawaii. Mr. Tran has reached out and rectified everything. Their products are delicious and everyone agrees and I look forward to visiting California again and plan on picking up lup Chong from Quang Tran again! read more

The best lap cheong aka Chinese sausages in the LA County. You know if you know. My clan have been patrons here for five generations. Very fragrant and least fat. $9/lb is the going rate during covid heist, however worth every penny. Store hours are weird, and they close early if sold out for the day. Note: CASH only with receipt. read more

Best place for Chinese sausages, but customer service can be a hit or miss depending on your luck. Not your typical store though, they usually have a certain amount of quantities each day & if they are sold out then you're out of luck. read more

I personally know the family and have been enjoying their sausage for 20+ years. I call it 'candy meat!'

Chinese sausage. That's all she wrote, folks. You walk inside a store way too large for the number of products they sell, and all you see are 3 types of sausage, maybe 6 sausages per package, laying in a relatively empty large display case and one little Vietnamese (?) guy hidden by a large counter. Odd. But as long as I get my sausage, they can do whatever they want. This is by far the best Chinese sausage I have ever tested! Plump, nicely seasoned, and sweet. Tested it for the first time this morning, and it brings out the best in my husband's favorite breakfast meal. That would be: sauteed onions in peanut oil, this sausage (thinly sliced), then scrambled together with a couple of eggs, served over steamed rice. Simple, great tasting (if you have the right sausage). Eye-rolling. Really, now that we have discovered this little store front, we really never have to bemuse ourselves at any mega-Asian grocery store again over what brand we bought last time that was merely adequate but not great. Coming from a family of crazed foodies, do you think it is too insane to give these as Christmas presents to the rest of the family living in No. Calif? Nope. This is died-and-gone-to-heaven perfect. Well worth the 100 mile round trip drive for us. Thank God for freezers. read more
